Hockey is expensive and floorball is cheap and easy to start with? This is at least the most most used phrase in Sweden, but is it true?<\/p>\n

\"Hockey
\n<\/a>Hockey players warming up before a practice game against a floorball team.<\/p>\n

Floorball costs in Sweden for 7-8 year old players, close to Stockholm;<\/h2>\n

– 60\u20ac in training fee (130\u20ac after two years)
\n– 40\u20ac Shoes
\n– 30 \u20ac Protective glasses
\n– 55\u20ac Team tracksuit
\n– 25\u20ac Team shorts and socks
\n– 20\u20ac Team bag
\n– 50\u20ac Floorball stick<\/p>\n

280\u20ac for playing floorball the first year.<\/p>\n

The cost to start playing the first years are quite similar, hockey has the rumour of being expensive hanging over already from the beginning, but as a floorball parent you are forced to buy “team spirit strengthening” equipment from the beginning which increases the start up cost.<\/p>\n

By buying used equipment and being careful with the items around the sport (tracksuits etc. this is directed towards the teams) you can keep the cost down in both sports and allow your children(s) to try and practice both?<\/p>\n
